Flashes Soccer Draws With Cornell On Senior Day
9/6/2026 3:39:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Kent, OHIO – Much like last year's matchup between the Kent State Golden Flashes and the Cornell Big Red, Sunday's game ended in a tightly-contested draw after 90 minutes of play. This year the two teams ended in a scoreless draw and it was the first regular-season scoreless draw for the Flashes since 2024 against the Ohio Bobcats.
KSU had three golden opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net in the second half, but all three shots were either contested saves or just high over the net. The blue and gold put seven shots up in each half to account for 14 total on the game.Â
The Big Red also shot the ball 14 times with four shots in the first half and 10 in the second half. Cornell finished with eight shots on goal while Kent State finished with three. Both teams were also even in corner kicks with four each, while Kent State won the possession battle slightly with possession 51% of the game.
Senior Leah Shaffer played all 90 minutes in net for the blue and gold and finished with the second-most saves in a game for her career with eight. Shaffer along with Ava Todd, Allison Burkey, Kiyomi, McCausland, Josie Morgan and Karsyn Teffner were among the six Golden Flashes honored pre-game on Senior Day.
Up Next
The Golden Flashes will wrap up non-conference action before the start of conference play on Friday night. KSU will head to the lone-star state to take on the Texas Tech Raiders of the Big 12 for a 8 P.M. ET kick.
